There are Trinidadians in various parts of Africa doing different things, although I have not kept track of many of them. In time some may come and share their experiences on the board.
The attitude you mentioned swings both ways, and as I said earlier, it is because the different parties are unaware, or unappreciative of each other’s history/experiences.
Once we are speaking of Pan-Africans, then all sides should become informed about Africans on and off the continent. Generally speaking the focus has been on Diasporan Africans to learn about Africa, but I have not heard of any deliberate efforts in schools on the continent for students to study and learn about Africans in the wider Diaspora. This needs to be addressed.
